VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – Holiday Lights at the Beach returns yet again to the Virginia Beach Boardwalk this November and December, featuring new events full of festive fun.
WAVY is a proud media sponsor of this fun, annual, holiday event.
As always, the event returns with its colorful archways and luminous fixtures all across the boardwalk, along with a 40-foot Christmas tree and the longest curved LED tunnel in the world.
New this year is “Santa’s Seaside Cinema” on select Saturdays and “Santa Paws Tuesdays”, where every vehicle that visits the Holiday Lights with a furry pet will receive a free pup cup for each four-legged friend they bring.
In addition, pet owners can also enter the Santa Paws Photo Contest for a chance to win a gift card to participating Oceanfront restaurants, along with getting free admission to Holiday Lights at the Beach. Participants are invited to share their holiday pet photos on social media under #SantaPawsPhoto and tag @beacheventsvb, @dinevb and the partner restaurant of the week.
A winner will be picked weekly, and all seven winners will be invited to the First Night Holiday Hike on Jan. 1 to crown one pet as the Grand Marshal of the Holiday Hike!
Any cyclists are also invited to get a first look at the lights during the Holiday Bike Night on Thursday, Nov. 13, where they will get the opportunity to peddle through the lights for free!
“BayPort Credit Union is honored to once again help light up the Virginia Beach Boardwalk for the holidays,” said BayPort Credit Union President/CEO, Jim Mears. “Bayport Credit Union Holiday Lights at the Beach is more than a beautiful display, it’s a tradition that creates lasting memories for families and a chance for our community to come together and celebrate the joy of the season.”
